Ohlin, Alix

Alix Ohlin is the author of the novel “The Missing Person” and a collection, “Babylon and Other Stories” (Vintage).

In its review of “Babylon,” the New York Times noted that “there are clues that this writer is up to something bigger than merely telling stories that tease, amuse, trouble, captivate and offer fleeting comforts with every trembling denouement.”

Ohlin was born in Montreal, graduated from Harvard University, and studied at the Michener Center for Writers in Austin, Texas. Her fiction was selected for both “Best New American Voices 2004″ and “Best American Short Stories 2005.”

She lives in Easton, Penn., and teaches creative writing at Lafayette College.
